JoURNAL.-Rev I. JEWELS argument iH
favor of hiring one to preach the Gospel of
Christ to US, when we assemble for Divine
worship, is in many points, I doubt not
very convincing TO many minds, but have
remembered the scripture text, "There ia
q way which seemsth right unto mau. but
the end thereof are the ways of death. !"
Now many Of US may know that often whe.,
death is spoken Of in the scriptures It means
darkness and sorrow, or a sepsration from
the closest communion with our God. And

fessedly to worship, our God, away from

And it is necessary in order to worshi,

declared, "God is spirit: and they

"Silos and Ensllage."

In the Farm department of the pres
ent number of the MIDLAND, we pub
lish an exhaustive article on the sub
ject of Ensilage, which has steadily
worked its way into favor with the
most advanced dairymen In the West,
in lace of the strenuous opposition
which it. in common with every i'm
provement on old methods has met
with. This opposition and extreme
caution is in large measure owing to
imperfect knowledge at the start,
which will cause damaging failures
always. AS people become familiar
with improved methods, and learn to
avoid fatal mistakes, every enterprise
which has meri. in it sufficient to make
1t valuableis sure to be generally adopt
ed. This fact il more and more appar
emit every year in the matter of preserv.
ing green forage in silos.
The time has arrived, and not few
of our farmers feel it, that radical
change must be made in their business
if they hope to keep their heads above
water. This change points IN the di-
rection of stock, and principally dairy
ing, and Ensilage appears to be the
safe bridge for transferring the butter
season from the summer to the winter
dairy, when fresh butter is at its high
est price.
There is plenty of time to build silo
between the present and the season
when it must be filled, and the season
is at hand for making ready to plant a
part of the corn ground with the view
of converting the crop into ensilage,
when in the roasting ear condition. In
fact corn taken from the field when it
reaches the proper age is right for en-.
silage without any special arrange
ment at planting time. When the ears
of the sugar corn are pulled the stalks
are just right for converting into ensil-
age as that is the period of their growth
when they contain the greatest amount
of nutritious substance.
The descriptions of silOs which we
publieh from the Prairie Farmer, are
written by farmers who have given
minute details of how to build and fill
the silos, These are so clear and sim
pie that any carpenter can build silo.
and the cost can be calculated before a
stroke of work is done. The directions
for filling are SO plain that none can
well make serious mistake in either
preserving or feeding the ensilage.
Who among our farmers will take the
lead in constructing silo and adopt.
ing the new methods of making farm
ing pay? 1t is the FAULTY methods in
vogue that prevent any farm in this
section of country from carrying three
times the number of stock which ia
now supposed to be its full capacity.

TTH years ago the microscope was sell
dom found in physicians office; now ev-
cry physician of note has one, and seldom
visits his patients without calling for a
sample of fluids for examination.
Why is all this? Is it possible that we OF
the present generation are to die of diseases
caused by kidney disorders, or shall we
master the cause by Warmers safe cure,
the only recognized specific, and thus re-
move the effects? All dealers keep it. II
Is within the reach of all. 1t is established
beyond doubt that very large per cent
of the deaths in this country ere traceable
to diseased kidneys For years the pro-
prietors of Warmers cure have been insist
ing that there is no sound health when the
kidneys are diseased, and they enthusiastic
ally press their specific for this terrible
disorder upon public attention. We are
continually hearing its praises sounded.
This means wonders!
Cannot the propristors of this great reu,-
edy, who have been warning us of the dam
ger, tell US how to avoid disease that ut
first ~ 50 unimportant. and is so fatal in its
termination? Are we to hope against hope
and wait without Our reward?
The most significant of all changes, how
ever, that we of To-day eap note is this
radical change OF view to which the public
has been educated: 1t was formerly thought
that the kidneys wore Of very small i'm
portance; to-day, we believe, it 10 e. ner.
ally admitte that there car be no such
thing as sound health 10 any organ if they
are in the least degree deranged.
